Portuguese Needlework Pillow

Someone at my LNS thought me how to stitch that lovely Portuguese pillow.

The design came directly from the book called "Portuguese Needlework Rugs: the Time-Honored Art of Arraiolos Rugs Adapted for Modern Handcrafters" written by Patricia Stone. If you have the book, the photo of the pillow I have stitched is on page 104.

I find myself so lucky to have found a great passion in my life which for me is embroidery and needlepoint. I hope to live long enough to be able to learn all the different types there is and be reasonably good at them. When I start stitching on a new project, the journey is as important to me as the destination and I can totally loose myself in a great project.
